These patriots landed on beaches in normandy and their pacific theater, crept through jungles in korea, shed blood in vietnam, survived attacks in iraq, and fought terrorists in afghanistan. These people are heroes. They love our nation so much, theyre willing to put their lives on the line for our democracy, our people, and our way of life.
